www.ford.com

is it just me or is the www.ford.com website hard to use? i wanted to build a f350 truck but they only let you build the f 250. whats with that? then i found a backdoor way to build a f350 yet it lists no dual wheel option. before they redid the website last year it was easy to use. now it is really hard to use.

Remember the dual rr wheel thing is a model, not an option.

We're often told that Ford monitors this site. If there was ONE thing I would wish they would take from here, it's this: FIX YOUR EXTREMELY USER UN-FRIENDLY WEBSITE!! No one can follow "The Way Forward" if you continue to support a website that customers can't decipher, and salespeople have to refer those customers to other websites (like carsdirect.com) in order to accurately build and price their vehicle.

Ford uses body codes to differentiate between SRW and DRW, as well as different preferred equipment groups for trim levels. For instance:

Body Style:

F350 2WD SRW Crew Cab: W30
F350 4WD SRW Crew Cab: W31
F350 2WD DRW Crew Cab: W32
F350 4WD DRW Crew Cab: W33

Trim levels:

F-350 XL SRW: 610A
F-350 XLT SRW: 617A
F-350 LARIAT SRW: 618A
F-350 XL DRW: 620A
F-350 XLT DRW: 627A
F-350 LARIAT DRW: 628A

Add in 3 interior colors, 12 exterior finishes, 3 seat styles, short or longbox, and a couple of hundred options, and it REALLY starts to get fun!

Yep the site is a real PAIN! But the following will hopefully get you going.
  1. Go to www.fordvehicles.com
  2. Click on the Build and Price your Ford in the lower left corner.
  3. Click on Trucks at the top of the screen.
  4. Choose the F350 from the list of trucks.
  5. Choose your trim level (xl, xlt, lariat, king ranch).
  6. Enter your zip code and click Choose Preferences
  7. Now start choosing what you want - The DRW is the 4th set of options.
Now you can continue and add the rest of what you want into the truck. Fun fun!
